GTX 460 issues

[Anarchist420]

I RMA'd my first Asus GTX460 (stock cooling and clocks) thinking it was defective, but it apparently wasn't, because now my 2nd one won't display either, except occasionally it will display one of the screens I go through during boot up (before Windows).

I didn't delete my 9800GTX+'s drivers. That's the only thing I can think of, unless it's not supposed to work with an apple LED cinema display hooked up to an Atlona adaptor.

I noticed the TMDS must be different than previous generation nvidia gpus, because I noticed during the few times it would display that the text and windows bootup screen is unfiltered/pixelated like ATi; the 9800GTX+ was smooth.

Any suggestion would be helpful appreciated

What do you mean that you didnt delete your 9800GTX+ drivers? When is the last time you updated them?

Well, I figured out the issue was that it's somehow incompatible with my Apple LED cinema display after testing it with my parents' monitor.

My screen does the same thing with integrated video. A cold boot with the screen in standby the screen doesn't turn on until login. If I do a cold boot with the screen completely off and turn it on just as it's about to post, the screen will turn on. If I do a warm reboot the screen will turn on during post.

With my 9600GT PCI-E card inserted though all problems go away and the screen is always recognized. There must be something going on with the TMDS with some video cards/integrated video, but not sure what the remedy is.

OK! What will you do with the card?
